Down To Two...Hotel California...

Though most of the members of the Eagles are not Golden State natives, the band's become synonymous with Southern California... and the monster Hotel California album examines all the highs and lows of the land of hopes and dreams. The result was the Eagles' biggest-selling regular album release, and one of the most successful rock albums ever. You voted it Number 2 in the Eagle's Greatest Classic Rock Albums of All Time, brought to you by D.R. Horton, America's builder. Catch a replay of the Hotel California story tonight at 8, or listen On Demand at eagle969.com. Don't forget, next week is "Honorable Mention Week."

Hotel California is the best album of my generation! I am a native of Sacratamato and have been an avid listener of classic radio stations in the area. I have visited the Place on the river the song was written about, its awesome!

Are you kidding me? This is better than Sgt. Peppers and The White Album?

I listened to the Eagle today as I drove to Cache Creek's Yocha de he golf course to play a nice round of golf. I heard the Eagle's Hotel California made the #2 album. I'm guessing either Dark Side of the Moon is #1 or Sgt. Peppers. How can I get a list of all the top #50?????
Thanks,
